Best Shower Mats in Australia 2026: Non Slip and Safety Picks

A wet shower floor is a slip risk, and a non slip shower mat gives your feet something to grip. The hard part is that many mat listings on Amazon AU describe themselves as non slip, anti mould and quick drying, so the marketing alone does not separate them. Listings describe grip in different ways, with suction cups on the back, a plaid backing or rubber feet, and they describe drainage through holes, slats or a loofah weave. Knowing which mechanism a mat uses tells you which floors it suits, and that is how we sort the mats below. If your shower has a glass screen, our shower squeegee comparison for Australian bathrooms sets eight squeegees side by side.

We compared seven mats using their Amazon AU listings: star ratings and rating counts, dimensions, materials and grip details as the listings state them. The guide explains who each mat suits and where it falls short. The best overall pick is the XIYUNTE Large Square Shower Mat 70x70cm, and the Croydex Rubagrip is the natural rubber runner up in a smaller size. Two of the seven listings could not be bought on 20 October 2026, and their sections say so. Each section sticks to what the listing states about size, grip, drainage and care, and where a listing is silent or contradicts itself we say that too.

What is the best shower mat in Australia right now?

The best shower mat for most Australian bathrooms is the XIYUNTE Large Square Shower Mat 70x70cm, rated 4.4 stars from 4,026 Amazon AU ratings. Its listing describes 238 suction cups, 209 drainage holes and a 70x70cm size for most home showers. Here is the short list, with the other mats placed by what each suits.

• Runner up: Croydex Rubagrip Square Shower Mat 53x53cm, 4.4 stars from 5,562 ratings. An anti bacterial Hygiene 'n' Clean treatment; the listing names natural rubber in the title and plastic in its product information.

• Oversized recess: EIVINJE 80x120cm Shower Mat, 4.4 stars from 156 ratings. TPE with 330 suction cups and 917 drainage holes.
• Two pack: Clevinger Loofah Shower Mat, 2 mats. The title says 75x44CM and without suction cups, while the bullets say 72CM by 44CM and suction caps at each corner. 4.4 stars from 351 ratings.

How do these shower mats compare at a glance?

The table compares the seven mats on size, grip and rating from their Amazon AU listings. Suction cup mats such as the XIYUNTE, Croydex, Yolife and EIVINJE need a smooth floor, while the Clevinger loofah mat uses a plaid backing and the VaeFae teak mat sits on rubber feet.

How we chose these shower mats

NestPath does not run a lab. We compare the Amazon AU listings and rank what those listings support. Specs come from the maker's bullet points and the product information on each listing.

• Two sources: the Amazon AU listing for each mat, and the maker's own information shown on that listing.
• Ratings and counts: star ratings and rating counts are copied from the listing for each mat.
• Grip mechanism: we matched each mat to the floor its listing describes. The XIYUNTE and EIVINJE listings both warn against textured or uneven floors.
• Drainage and mould: we looked at the drainage holes, slats or loofah weave each listing describes, and at the drying advice it gives.
• Size: we compared the dimensions each listing states, which are given in centimetres for most mats and in inches for the Yolife.
• Care advice: we read the cleaning and drying steps each listing gives, including rinsing under the showerhead, machine washing and hanging the mat to dry.
• Warnings: we kept the cautions each listing gives, such as not using suction cup mats on textured surfaces and confirming your bathroom dimensions before buying.

Last checked: 20 October 2026

Best overall: XIYUNTE Large Square Shower Mat 70x70cm

The XIYUNTE Large Square Shower Mat 70x70cm is the best overall pick because it combines coverage with suction grip. The listing gives the size as 70x70cm, says the mat provides excellent coverage and is used for most home showers, and puts 238 suction cups on the back. It holds 4.4 stars from 4,026 Amazon AU ratings. The listing adds that the mat is a great choice for hotels, gyms and spas, and its title also calls it a large shower tray mat.

Grip comes from 238 suction cups on the underside, which the listing pairs with 209 drainage holes so water drains quickly rather than pooling. It is made from PVC that the listing describes as anti mould, anti bacterial, safe and with no odour, and the listing says the mat can be machine washed or rinsed under the shower head. It ships from Amazon and is sold by Massiupply. The listing also calls the mat soft and tough, says it will not easily break or deform and tells you not to worry about leaving creases when storing it.

The reason it takes the best overall spot is balance. It is large enough for real coverage, the listing calls it very safe for the elderly and children at home, and its drainage holes let water leave quickly even if the waste outlet in your shower is at the other end. Its listing warns against using it on textured or non smooth surfaces, so on a textured floor look for a mat whose own listing says it suits that floor. To keep it dry, the listing recommends hanging it on the bathtub or sticking it to the wall with its suction cups, and rinsing it after each use to remove oily and slippery buildup.

Flaws but not dealbreakers

Suction cups only work on a smooth surface. The listing says to fix the suction cups on the smooth surface and not to use the mat on textured or non smooth surfaces, so press every cup down firmly and never trust it on a textured base. Like all suction mats it needs rinsing to remove oily and slippery buildup after each use, as the listing advises. The listing also says the mat can be rinsed under the shower head or washed by machine after use, and it describes the PVC as eco friendly, anti mould, anti bacterial, safe and without odour.

Runner up: Croydex Rubagrip Square Shower Mat 53x53cm

The Croydex Rubagrip is the runner up because it carries an anti bacterial Hygiene 'n' Clean treatment in a compact square. It holds 4.4 stars from 5,562 Amazon AU ratings, and its listing gives the size as 53x53cm with secure grip suction cups for inside the bath and shower. The maker's listing also says the anti slip grip is there to prevent falls, and calls it an essential bathtub mat for every bathroom.

At 53x53cm it is a square mat that the listing says can be used in the shower or inside the bath, gripping the floor with secure suction cups. The listing bullets say it is made from high quality natural rubber that is easy to clean and maintain, and the title also says natural rubber, but the product information table lists the material type as plastic, so treat the material as unconfirmed. The bullets add that the anti bacterial treatment keeps the shower area free from germs. The seller is Amazon AU. The listing says the mat secures firmly to the shower floor with suction cups and describes it as offering longevity and versatility, which is a maker claim we have not tested.

It suits a small ensuite or the inside of a tub, where a 53x53cm mat is enough. The listing describes secure grip suction cups that provide a safe and comfortable shower experience for elderly individuals or those with limited mobility. If you need extra large coverage, look at the XIYUNTE, Yolife or EIVINJE mats instead.

Flaws but not dealbreakers

At 53x53cm it is smaller than the XIYUNTE, Yolife and EIVINJE mats here, so measure your recess first. As with the other suction cup mats, it needs a smooth floor to hold, and the listing advises simply wiping it clean to keep the shower area free from germs. The material is also worth a look before you buy: the title and bullets say natural rubber, while the product information table says plastic.

HITSLAM Shower Mat: could not be bought on 20 October 2026

Could not be bought on 20 October 2026: the HITSLAM listing did not load when we opened it, so we cannot confirm it is on sale and we do not recommend it. This card stays for reference. Our saved capture of that page holds only a page load timeout message instead of listing text, so we state no size, material, grip or other listing detail for this mat.

All we hold for this mat is the maker name HITSLAM and the product type, a shower mat. Because the listing did not load, we could not read its bullet points or product information, so we make no claim about its size, material, how it grips, how it drains or what it is free of. If you want a loofah mat with a listing we could read, the Clevinger two pack further down is the loofah option.

If the listing returns, read its bullet points and product information before buying, and compare its size and grip with the mats that could be bought. For a mat that uses a plaid backing instead of a full bed of suction cups, the Clevinger two pack is described further down. Measure your shower floor first, because we cannot confirm its size or anything else about the mat.

What we could not check

With no readable listing we cannot list this mat's flaws, its grip type or its rating. Until the listing loads and shows an add to cart option, treat it as unavailable and choose from the mats that could be bought on 20 October 2026. The XIYUNTE and Croydex sections above each state the size, grip and rating from a listing we could read.

VaeFae Teak Shower Mat: could not be bought on 20 October 2026

Could not be bought on 20 October 2026: the VaeFae listing showed no add to cart option, and the saved stock feed gives its message as currently unavailable, so we do not recommend it. Its capture shows 4.6 stars from 1,183 Amazon AU ratings, and the listing describes natural teak wood with a slatted design. It says each bath mat uses natural teak wood with a smooth surface and a durable design, and that the mat still maintains its beauty with repeated use.

Rather than gripping the floor with suction, it sits on top of your tiles on non slip rubber feet. The listing says the slatted design avoids water around your feet and dries quicker, and that the oiled finish has a water resistant nature and lends a warm touch. It gives the size as 50.8 x 33 cm and describes the mat as suitable for indoor or outdoor shower use, with no assembly required. The listing also says the mat provides a comfortable, secure, stable shower place and keeps your feet away from the cold floor.

It is a different type of mat from the suction cup picks, because it rests on rubber feet and relies on its slatted design to let water away. If it returns to stock, read the listing's size and care details before buying and compare it with the mats that could be bought.

Flaws but not dealbreakers

The listing gives a 50.8 x 33 cm footprint, so a larger shower floor would leave bare tile around it. It has no suction cups, so its grip type differs from the XIYUNTE, Croydex, Yolife and EIVINJE mats. The listing says the rubber feet make the mat stay in place and prevent scratches from the floor.

Extra large shower mat for walk in showers: Yolife Large Shower Mat

The Yolife is the mat to consider when a standard mat will not cover your shower floor. The listing gives the size as 47 L x 32 W inches and says it covers a large area, and it holds 4.6 stars from 219 Amazon AU ratings. The listing asks you to confirm your bathroom dimensions before purchasing. It describes a textured surface that covers a large area of the bathroom and reduces the risk of slipping, and its title also names a drain hole design and a no odor soft TPE floor mat.

It uses 330 suction cups for grip and is made from TPE, which the listing describes as soft and odorless and suitable for whole family use, especially the elderly. The listing says larger and denser drain holes let water flow down to the drain more easily, and that you take the mat off and rinse it after each use, then roll it up and leave it in a corner when not in use. It adds that the cups adhere nicely to the smooth shower floor and offer great protection against slips and falls during a bath, and that the TPE gives elderly bathers confidence to enjoy their bathing time.

If your shower is large and small mats leave bare tile exposed, this size is worth a look. Confirm your floor dimensions before buying, since the whole point of this mat is coverage and you want it to fit. The listing shows the seller as jianhui shop.

Flaws but not dealbreakers

As a large suction mat it needs a smooth floor, and the listing says the cups adhere to the smooth shower floor. The size is the main limit: at 47 x 32 inches it suits a large shower, and the listing itself asks you to confirm the bathroom dimensions before buying. The listing also says the larger, denser drain holes let water flow down to the drain more easily and keep water from accumulating.

Oversized recess: EIVINJE 80x120cm Shower Mat

The EIVINJE is the mat for a large shower floor. The listing gives the size as 80x120 cm and says it provides all round safety and slip resistance, suitable for adults and children and extra suitable for the elderly and pregnancy. It holds 4.4 stars from 156 Amazon AU ratings. The listing also says the textured surface enhances friction between feet and mat, and that you can freely trim the mat to fit any corner.

The listing details 330 suction cups and 917 drainage holes, including 623 enlarged 2.5 cm holes, and says foam, soap scum and other residues pass through the mat. It is made from TPE that the listing calls softer and thicker than traditional plastic, PVC or rubber, tear resistant, eco friendly and without odour, and it says you can trim the mat to fit any corner.

To clean it, the listing says to rinse it under the showerhead and then hang it up or attach it to the wall to air dry, and that the mat supports machine washing. Like every suction mat it needs a smooth floor: the listing says not to use it on textured or uneven floor surfaces. The listing presents the textured surface as dual protection alongside the suction cups, which it says ensure a firm grip on smooth surfaces.

Flaws but not dealbreakers

It is a large mat, so check that 80x120 cm fits your recess before buying. Its 156 ratings are fewer than the 219 for the Yolife, and the now familiar caveat applies: smooth floors only, with every cup pressed down.

Two pack shower mat: Clevinger Loofah Shower Mat

The Clevinger is the option if you have more than one bathroom or want a spare. It comes as a 2Pack, the title gives the size as 75x44CM, and it holds 4.4 stars from 351 Amazon AU ratings. The description says the coverage is 72CM by 44CM, so measure your tub or shower floor against both figures. The listing says the mat is designed to fit most bathtubs or bathroom floors and is suitable for all showers and baths.

Each mat has a lightly textured loofah surface that the listing says gently exfoliates your feet, plus hundreds of small drain holes and a lattice bottom that let water pass through. The listing describes a plaid backing for grip and says suction caps are present at each corner, although the title says without suction cups. It says the mat can be hung over your bathtub or bath safety bar to dry quickly. The listing describes it as suited to families with young children or elderly adults who are more prone to falls, as a mat to place in your shower or bathtub.

The two pack suits a household with an ensuite plus a main bathroom, or anyone who wants to rotate one mat while the other stays in use. The listing says you can cut the mat to match the size of your bathtub or shower stall. It ships from Amazon and is sold by FOXTROT INT PTY LTD.

Flaws but not dealbreakers

The listing details disagree with each other on grip and size: the title says without suction cups, the description says suction caps are present at each corner, and the size appears as 75x44CM and as 72CM by 44CM. Read the listing carefully before you buy. The listing also gives the colour as white, while the title does not name a colour, so check the pictures match what you want.

What should you look for in a shower mat?

Look for a mat that suits your floor, your shower size, drainage and material. Suction cup mats need a smooth floor, and the XIYUNTE and EIVINJE listings both warn against using them on textured or uneven surfaces. Measure your recess, then compare the size each listing states with the space where you stand.

Does your floor suit suction cups?

Only if the floor is smooth. The XIYUNTE listing says to use its mat on smooth surfaces only and not on textured or non smooth ones, and the EIVINJE listing warns against textured or uneven floors. The Clevinger uses a plaid backing, but its listing does not say it suits textured floors, and its title says without suction cups while its bullets mention suction caps at each corner.

How big is your shower recess?

Measure the floor where you stand, then compare the size each listing states. The Croydex is 53x53cm, the XIYUNTE is 70x70cm, the EIVINJE is 80x120 cm and the Yolife is 47 x 32 inches. The Yolife listing also asks you to confirm your bathroom dimensions before purchasing.

How well does it drain?

A mat drains well when water can pass straight through it. The XIYUNTE listing describes 209 drainage holes, the Yolife listing describes larger and denser drain holes, and the EIVINJE listing describes 917 drainage holes. Rinse and dry any mat after use, because the XIYUNTE listing links drying to preventing mould.

What material is it?

The listings name three clear materials: PVC for the XIYUNTE and Clevinger, TPE for the Yolife and EIVINJE, and natural teak wood for the VaeFae. The Croydex listing is the exception, with natural rubber in the title and bullets but plastic in the product information table. The Yolife and EIVINJE listings describe TPE as soft and free of odour, and set it against PVC and rubber.

How do you stop a shower mat going mouldy?

Dry the mat after every use. The XIYUNTE listing advises hanging the mat on the bathtub or sticking it to the wall with its suction cups, rinsing to remove oily and slippery buildup after each use, and keeping it dry to prevent mould. The Clevinger listing also says to hang that mat over the bathtub to dry.

Rinse the mat under the showerhead regularly. The XIYUNTE and EIVINJE listings both say the mat can be machine washed, and the Yolife listing says to take it off and rinse it after each use. Check the care advice in the listing for the mat you buy.

Care, size and safety notes for shower mats

Best type of mat for a smooth floor

For a smooth floor, a large suction cup mat such as the XIYUNTE Large Square Shower Mat 70x70cm is the best overall pick, rated 4.4 stars from 4,026 Amazon AU ratings. For a larger shower, the Yolife and EIVINJE TPE mats are bigger. Every suction cup mat in this guide needs a smooth floor to hold.

When to replace a shower mat

These listings do not state a replacement interval, so replace a mat when it stops doing its job. If the suction cups stop holding, the surface is damaged or mould will not rinse out, buy a new one. The XIYUNTE listing says its PVC will not easily break or deform, which is the maker's claim.

Shower mats and textured tiles

Suction cup mats do not. The XIYUNTE listing says not to use its mat on textured or non smooth surfaces, and the EIVINJE listing says not to use its mat on textured or uneven floors. The cups need a smooth surface to seal against, so on a textured floor choose a mat whose listing says it suits that floor.

Shower mat hygiene

A mat stays as clean as you keep it. The XIYUNTE listing describes its PVC as anti mould and anti bacterial, and the Croydex listing describes an anti bacterial Hygiene 'n' Clean treatment. Open designs with drainage holes let water pass through, and drying the mat after use is the step the listings stress.

Choosing a shower mat size

Measure your shower floor first and compare it with the size each listing states. The Croydex is 53x53cm, the XIYUNTE is 70x70cm, the EIVINJE is 80x120 cm and the Yolife is 47 x 32 inches. The EIVINJE and Clevinger listings both say the mat can be trimmed or cut to fit.

Non slip mats for older users

Choose a mat that covers the whole standing area on a smooth floor. The XIYUNTE listing calls its mat very safe for the elderly and children at home, and the Yolife and EIVINJE listings describe their TPE mats as suitable for the elderly. If grip is a medical concern, ask your GP or an occupational therapist.

Absorbency of shower mats

None of them, and that is by design. The mats in this guide sit inside the shower and are built to drain rather than soak, which is why the listings describe drainage holes, slats or an open loofah weave. For a mat to step onto after the shower, see our guide to bath mats.

Cleaning a shower mat

Follow the care steps in the listing for your mat. The XIYUNTE and EIVINJE listings say the mat can be machine washed, the Yolife listing says to take it off and rinse after each use, and the Croydex listing says to wipe it clean. Hang the mat to dry afterwards.

Smells from a shower mat

Trapped water is a likely cause, so lift the mat after each shower and hang it to dry. The Clevinger listing says hanging that mat over the bathtub or a bath safety bar helps it dry quickly and prevents unpleasant smells or mould. If the smell stays after washing, replace the mat.

Frequently asked questions about shower mats

Is it good to have a shower mat?

Yes, if it suits your floor. A shower mat gives your feet something to grip on a wet floor, and the XIYUNTE listing says its mat has strong traction and stability on smooth ground. The listings also warn that suction cup mats must not be used on textured surfaces, and that they need drying to prevent mould.

Which is the best shower mat?

The XIYUNTE Large Square Shower Mat 70x70cm is the best overall pick, rated 4.4 stars from 4,026 Amazon AU ratings. Its listing describes 238 suction cups, 209 drainage holes and coverage for most home showers. The Croydex Rubagrip 53x53cm is a smaller alternative, and the Yolife and EIVINJE mats are larger.

What is the best bath mat set for my bathroom?

The mats in this guide are for inside the shower or bath, so use our bath mat guide for a set to step onto. For a pair of mats, the Clevinger is sold as a 2Pack of loofah mats, rated 4.4 stars from 351 Amazon AU ratings, though its listing gives its size two ways.
